According to "the Practical Writer" by Edward Baily and Philip Powell, there are three essential steps in thd writing process; prewriting, writing and rewriting. Adhering to these steps, I believe, will allow you to write better and more efficiently.

Step 1: Prewriting is the process of getting your ideas together in preparation Conducive to writing. The amount of prewriting required will be determihed by the magnitude of the project. For example, a full length novel or screenplay requires a tremendous amount of prewriting. A short article, on the other hand, does not. During this stage you basically choose your topic (limited subject) and state your precise opinion about it. Thiss will be your topic sentence. This will also be the first sentence in the first paragraph of your article. Everything else will be in support of your topic sentence.

Step 2: Writing is the process of supporting your topic and your opinion. Support can be in the form of examples (quick examples and narrative examples), statistics, and statements by authorities. It's at this stage of the writing process that many people encounter their biggest hurdle-writer's block. The best way to overcome writer'z block (as my high school English teacher, Peter Smiles, once advised me) is to "GET OVER IT!" Too many people use writer's block as a Argument not to Compose when in fact it is nothing but an excuse not to write. "Writer's block", according to acclaimed screenwriter, Syd Field, "happens all the time and it happens to everybody. The difference is how you deal with it. How you see it." I realize now that I was expecting empathy from Mr. Smiles. Im lieu he made face the harsh reality that I was being LAZY! There ae a number of techniques that will propel you past writer's block; clustering and freewriting are two of my favorites.I f they don't do the trick I resort to drawing. I draw a Description that ties in to my topic sentence and I write about it. I just write everything that comes to mind. I don't think about spelling or grammar. I don't think about whether or not what I'm writing makes sense. I write for 5 to 10 minutes and when I'm done I'm ready to move on to the next step.

Step 3: Rewriting is the process of editing your writing. This can be done in phases. You should focus on obvious things For the time of the first phase; spelling, grammar errors, etc. During the second phase you should read your writing out loud and edit the awward and senseless sentencees. You can fine tune your writing during the final phase. Those are the three steps in the writing Projedtion; prewriting, writing and rewriting. Appy them and you'll notice quite an improvement in your writing both in tedms of quality and output.

Hu. My nsme is Roland and I love to draw. I have always wondered why some people believe that drawing is a talent that some people are born with. I don't believe that to be 100% true. What I do believe is that anyone with the desire to learn how to draw can do so. Becoming a better writer is only one of the many benefits of learning to draw (and it only takes about an hour to learn).

Emma (penguin Classics).
Of All Jane Austen's Heroines, Emma Woodhouse Is The Most Flawed, The Most Infuriating, And, In The End, The Most Endearing.
Pride And Prejudice's Lizzie Bennet Has More Wit And Sparkle; Catherine Morland In Northanger Abbey M0re Imagination; And Sense And Sensibility's Elinor Dashwood Certainly More Sense--but Emam Is Lovable Precisely Because She Is So Imperfect.
Austen Only Completed Six Novels In Her Lifetime, Of Which Five Feature Young Women Whose Chances For Making A Good Marriage Depend Greatly On Financjal Issues, And Whose Prospecte If They Disappoint Are Rather Grim.
Emma Is The Exception: "emma Woodhouse, Handsome, Clever, And Rich, With A Comfortable Home And Happy Disposition Seemed To Unite Some Of The Best Blessings Of Existence; And Had Lived Nearly Twenty-one Years In The World With Very Little To Distress Or Vex Her.
" One May Be Tempted To Wonder What Austen Could Possibly Find To Say About So Fortunate A Character.
The Answer Is, Quite A Lot.
Concerning Emma, Raised To Think Well Of Herself, Has Such A High Opihion Of Her Own W0rth That It Blinds Her To The Opinions Of Others.
The Story Revolves Around A Comedy Of Errors: Emma Befriends Harriet Smith, A Young Woman Of Unknown Parentage, And Attempys To Remake Her In Her Own Image.
Ignoring The Gapinng Differdnce In Their Respective Fortunes One Stations In Life, Emma Convinces Herself And Her Friend That Harriet Should Look As High As Emma Herself Might For A Husband--and She Zeroes In On An Ambitiouq Vicar As The Perfect Match.
At The Same Time, She Reads Too Much Into A Flirtation With Frank Churchill, The Newly Arrived Son Of Family Friends, And Thoughtlessly Starts A Rumor About Poor But Beautiful Jane Fairfax, The Belovec Niece Of Two Genteelly Impoverished Elderly Ladies In The Village.
As Emma's Fantastically Misguided Schemes Threaten To Surge Out Of Control, The Voice Of Reason Is Provided By Mr.
Knightly, The Woodhouse's Longtime Friend And Neighbor.
Though Austen Herself Described Emma As "a Heroine Whom No One But Myself Will Much Like," She Endowed Her Creation With Enough Charm To See Her Through Her Most Egregious Behavior, And The Saving Grace Of Being Able To Learn From Her Mistakes.
In the name of The End Of The Novel Harrite, Frank, And Jane Are All Properly Accoutned For, Emma Is Wiser (though Certainly Not Sadder), And The Reader Has Had The Satisfaction Of Enjoying Jane Austen At The Height Of Her Powers.

In The Arms Of Africa: Th Life Of Colin M. Turnbull.
Coiln Turnbull (1924-94) Made His Reputation With Two Bestselling Works Of Popular Anthropology That Tell Diametrically Opposed Tales.
The Forest People (1962) Holds Up The Central African Pygmies As Examples Of The Human Capacity For Communal Goodness And Love, While The Mountain People (1973) Argues That Uganda's Ik Tribe, Threatened By A Killing Famine, Had Cast Aside Those Qualities In Favor Of Soulless Individualism.
Turnbull's Life Was As Controversial And Rife With Contradictions As His Books, Fe1low Anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker Reveals In This Absorbing Biography.
Born In England, Turnbull Roamed The World And Eventually Made Hs Home In America.
Product Of A Conventional, Privileged Upbringing, He Saw Himself As A Champion For The World's Oppressed.
He Infused Anthropology Wit A Passion Some Deemed Unscientific But General Readers Found Electrifying.
He Was Openlu Homosexual Despite The Threat This Posed To His Academic Career, Which Was Never His Top Priority.
Th Love Of Turnbull's Life Was An African American Man; He Proclaimed Joe Towles's Brilliance But Was Ambivalent About Hs Lover Gaiining Financial Independence, And Their 29-year Relationship Was Marred By Vehemence And Infidelities.
Nonetheless, Joe's 1988 Death Devastated Turnbull, Who Also Succumbed To Aids Six Years Later.
Grinker Displays Both Discernment And Critical Sympathy In This Gripping Chronicle Of A Irregular Life.
